FAQs

Are New Balance 327s good for running?

No, the New Balance 327 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer. While inspired by New Balance's running heritage, it is not engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic activities. They are best suited for everyday wear and fashion.

How do I clean the green leather on my 327s?

For basic cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth, following the product's instructions. Always air dry away from direct heat and consider using a leather protector spray.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Generally, New Balance 327s tend to run true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary slightly based on foot shape. It's always recommended to try them on if possible, or refer to New Balance's official sizing guide.

Can I wear my New Balance 327s in wet weather?

While the leather offers some resistance to light moisture, it's best to avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions, as water can damage leather over time. Applying a water-resistant leather protector spray can offer additional protection.

What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?

The New Balance 327 can be paired with various sock types depending on your preference and the look you're going for. Low-cut or no-show socks work well for a sleek, casual look, while crew socks can complement the retro aesthetic. Choose breathable materials for comfort.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dull or dry.

Clean the leather thoroughly, then apply a small amount of leather conditioner or balm using a soft cloth. Buff gently to restore shine and suppleness.

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Check your lacing. Loosen the laces, re-tie them ensuring even tension across the foot. If still tight, ensure you have the correct size; shoe stretchers can help with minor tightness over time.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Often caused by insoles rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insoles and applying a thin layer of baby powder or cornstarch underneath them. If the squeak persists, it might be structural, in which case a professional shoe repairer could diagnose.

Outsole looks worn down prematurely.

The lug outsole is designed for durability, but wear depends on use. Ensure you are using the shoes for their intended casual purpose, avoiding abrasive surfaces or activities that cause excessive friction. Rotate with other footwear to extend lifespan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your New Balance 327 trainers is straightforward:

  1. Unboxing: Carefully remove the trainers from their packaging.

  3. Initial Wear: Try them on indoors first to confirm comfort and fit before wearing them outdoors.

Compatibility

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your leather New Balance 327 trainers:

  1. Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently wipe off any loose dirt with a soft, dry brush or cloth.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For light marks on the leather, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Wipe gently, then wipe again with a clean, damp cloth to remove soap residue. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
  3. Deep Cleaning (Leather): For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner following the product's instructions. Apply with a soft cloth, then buff gently.
  4. Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray before the first wear and periodically thereafter to repel water and stains. Ensure the spray is suitable for the type of leather.
  5. Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry at room temperature; do not use direct heat (like radiators or hair dryers), as this can damage the leather.
  6. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  7. Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash leather shoes, as this can cause irreversible damage.
